The worst mechanical mistake with my boxster so far, was using lug bolts that were too long, whereby they protruded into the E-brake assembly and came in contact with the E-brake springs - subsequently causing the E-brake shoe to fall against the rotor . I had to drive 60 miles home like this. You what to talk about a horrific sound ! Fortunately, by some miracle nothing was damaged, and I was able to fix the problem by simply replacing the springs.
